Ring just announced a new Appstore. For the first time, third party developers can request early access to Ring APIs. This changes Ring from a closed product into a programmable platform. We are one of the first teams working with early Ring API access. We explored what developers can build with Ring event data and how quickly we can take it to production. We built a Driveway Derby Detector. Here is how it works at a high level: -> We registered our endpoints and received client credentials for Developer APIs (Self-serve through developer.amazon.com/ring) -> When the camera detects motion, we get notified on the webhook (< 30 min integration) -> We pull the associated video clips (< 30 min integration) -> We run the clip through YOLO based object detection model (YMMV based on your application) -> We emit the data from the model to a DynamoDB database -> We wrote an application which creates visuals with various graphs to detect high speeds of wild drivers in our family when they enter our driveway If you want to try this yourself, you can request early access here: https://lnkd.in/gbVmQt-g
